Kannon and St.Hillary could use some help getting by.

Quotes from the loathe thread:

I hate being here again, but here we are. This has been a really rough month, with unexpected bills and a real slow start to Sthillary's new job, on top of some expected large bills, in the midst of a year that has not at all gone to plan.
We need some help to cover the electric bill and keeping food on the table until Sthillary's new job starts.
We genuinely appreciate any and all help.
If you'd like to help, Sthillary's paypal link is: paypal.me/StHillary

Absolutely everything is appreciated, every dollar is one more we won't be overdrawn by the end of this week. So thank you to the people who have been kind enough to throw what they could at us. I know that there are far more important things to donate your money to but I really do appreciate it.
We've barely been getting by as is since we're slowly creeping up on 7 months of this crap. Savings have been completely drained, I've pulled any and all favors I have earned the last few years, and we've just living week to week. But thanks to it being summer and we're in Texas, July has just hit us like a damn train.
Anyway, sorry for complaining, I just really wanted to say thanks. This community has been far better to us over the years than we deserve and I know we'll never be able to fully repay that kindness. Though that won't stop us from trying once things are back to being stable. :)

Kannon didn't want to create a thread, for obvious reasons, so I'll do it. Both of them are stellar human beings, and St.Hillary is way off base on that next to last sentence, so let's keep the entirely deserved kindness train going.

Here's that link again. (PayPal)

One-time bump to ensure as many people as possible see the thread.

If you've already donated, you're totally rad. If you haven't, or can't, don't worry; you're still great.

Wish I could help, but we're close to being in the same boat with two kids, one income and money getting ready to run out.

I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you. To Hyetal for going out of his way to make this thread for us, and to every single person who has helped out, either with a donation, a message of support, or both in a lot of cases. It's been tough to not get weepy today from the outpouring of love we're receiving. In fact I have failed on not getting weepy, I'm failing right now!
Thank you all so much, for giving me the best birthday gift I could ask for this year, a little bit less stress in my life. You all are, indeed, quite rad.

I promised to donate today and I apologize for not doing so. Today was complicated. Will chip in tomorrow in the morning (night for the US), hope it'll help.

Also, bump! Come on, folks! Come together in the name of goodjerdom!!

I do want to stress that I absolutely do not want someone to donate if they can't. I totally get wanting to help, but I don't want anyone to put more unnecessary pressure/stress on themselves. This year has already been stressful enough for so many.
So don't worry about it, garion, I just hope that things get better soon for your family, too.
And Eleima, there is no need to apologize, I want you and your little ones to be safe!

Sent you a bit to help. Hugs to you both!

It's not much, but hopefully it helps. Here's hoping things start looking up for both of you soon!

Perhaps, but one's hurdles need not prevent them from aiding others with theirs. Hope it helps, and many good thoughts and vibes to the both of you.

I'm in! Bumping for justice!

I hadn't heard you'd had some reversals of fortune, but I hope this helps you guys through the rough patch.

Best wishes!

I'm in. We've had people help us out when things were rough, it's a privilege to be in a position to do the same for others.

If Nier taught me anything, it's that helping strangers is a good thing to do.

Just sent some $$$. Good luck to both of you!

Sent what I could. Hope it helps.

Cheers you guys. I hope things turn for you soon.

I meant to post again here the other day but this week has been... well, it's certainly been a week. Everything that was supposed to go right this week did the exact opposite, but you all have made it so that I had a few less things to stress about, so for that I'm forever grateful. I even was able to get a few doughnuts as a birthday treat on Friday, so that was pretty cool too.

Forgive me if I'm crossing a major line by bringing this thread up again, but there's a bit of a situation happening. After dealing with March's rent, it was $100 more than expected, which considerably ate into our grocery budget. After other critical bills have been paid, that budget is now at zero.
I feel like an asshole posting here, but the current situation is either I take money out of what I'm saving to hopefully keep a roof over our heads in April, or we just don't eat. I already waited on posting this in hopes that we could stretch what we had, but we're out of everything. My creativity for meal planning only gets us so far when all you have to work with is some oats, beans, and frozen spinach.
Also the fact that it's been over a year now and we're still in this situation... it's a miracle we've lasted this long but at the same time it's infuriating and I want to blast myself into the sun.
Anyways, I don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry and thank you.

I hope it helps.

I'm sorry this thread had to get bumped again...

Hillary, is there an alternative website to send some money your way? PayPal fees are murderous.

I'm not sure, I don't have accounts anywhere else, but if anyone has ideas I'm always open. Especially now because thanks to the unavoidable bullsh*t that happened at the first of this month, we just got the email saying they're going to proceed with filing for eviction tomorrow unless we pay the rest of rent and now fees.
And tomorrow Kannon has a job interview, so what a super cool clashing of things.

I will keep my fingers crossed for the job interview.

Hugs....

Tell PayPal is a gift. No fees.

I wasn't sure where to post this, since this is just kind of an update more than anything and I didn't really want to continue my streak of loathe thread posts.
So things have continued to fall through and eviction is unfortunately happening. The court date is set for the 2nd, so depending on how much time they decide to give us, we'll be out of here in a few days to probably a week or so. The house is already mostly packed or at least the important stuff is, everything else has either been thrown out or given away. Now I'm just deep cleaning everything and leaving out only what we need.
Don't know where we'll go from here. Shockingly, a lot of places don't like renting to people with recent evictions, which is so weird. My family has been very kind and gave us what we needed to rent a truck, so that we can be closer to them. No one has a spare room sadly, but if I have to be homeless, I'd rather do so where I know people who will let me use their shower and we'll be in a state that's slightly less likely to result in us dying from being in a hot car.
My main concern right now is just getting to Idaho and finding a place for Kannon's mom. It's one thing for me and Kannon to live in a car, but his disabled mother definitely cannot.
I also want to thank everyone who has helped us in some way. I only wish this wasn't the outcome of all that generosity, as now I feel like an asshole who wasted people's time and efforts. Honestly, I want to loathe this situation and cry and be more upset than I am but I've weirdly hit this emotional wall where I just don't have the energy for all that anymore. I guess in the end I've received my wish to leave Texas and move back west, I just didn't want it to be under these circumstances.

Heartbreaking, but maybe ... hopefully this is a necessary step to a brighter future.

That really sucks. I am very sorry.
